"Macarthur Park, Richard Harris. I don't know about you, but I don't find this song depressing, or even sad. (Not in terms of content, at least; that it was ever written, let alone performed, is rather sad...)"
Well, the sad fact that it was ever written has been overcome by the sheer absurd enjoyment of the rendition performed on Space Ghost Coast to Coast (or it might have been Cartoon Planet) by Brak, a kind of red-neck, feline alien. He warbles the song, occasionally breaking away from the established lyrics, wailing, "Oh, no! I was gonna EAT that cake!" This version has to be seen - and heard - to wipe the original bad taste out of your brain!
